MAGAZIN DAY. 81, A CKIV 0 OD' S MAGAZINE. The " Huguenot Captain" —an intelligent series of historical and biographical e s sa y s , re f err i ng , o f course, to th e stormy times of Henry th e F ourt h an d the League —is concluded in the present Number, with a T • brief account of the last days of that most volatile arid chivalrous of Sovereigns, which is so interesting that we make no apology for extracting it : Durin g the long course of those transactions, D'Aubigne thowed hi mse lf the same man of sincerity and virtue. He left the court, and joined himself to the assemblies of the Hu guenots, then struggling for the existence of their church. But he was occasionally summoned by the King; and there exhibited all the firmness and fortitude of a pure and noble r ind. Henry, one day, when no one was present but Ga brielle d ' Etrees, showed him the scar on his lip, from a wound which had been lately given him by an assassin—Jean Chastel. " Sire," said this intrepid Christian, " you have yet renounced God only with your lips. he has therefore suffered only your lip to be pierced ; but if ever you renounce him with your heart, in your heart will the wound be criven." The King laid nothing to this bold speech ; but Gab e ielle cried out, " A said finely ex p resse d , b ut ill applied. " " True, madam, " d D'Aubigne to her gravely, " because it will have no effect." Shortly after, at the siege of La Fere, the King wa s teized w i t h an illness, which alarmed him so much that he Again sent for D'Aubigne, and ordering the chamber door to be locked, and after they had twice joined in prayer, he asked him to say plainly, in that hour of his extremity, whether he thought that " he" (the King) " had ever committed the un. Pardonable sin—the sin against the Holy Ghost ?" D'Au bigne would have declined the office as above his learning, and advised the summoning of a Huguenot minister. But the King insisted on his answer, and he then described the sin by four marks. which say more for his sincerity than his theolo gical erudition. Those were, the commission of the sin with knowledge —the wilful adoption of religious error—the absence of compensation—and the despair of mercy. Some of those points struck hard on Henry's apostacy,—and the conference lasted four hours, during which they joined in prayer not leas than ?ix times. But of all temperaments a volatile nature is the least fitted for true impressions of religion. Henry's ill ness took a favourable change next day ; he rose from his bed, galloped to the field, reviewed his troops, danced among his mistress es , and with the old moral of the penitence produced by fear, was th e most brilliant, and most incurable of kingly p]of ik ates once aga i n . Th e war w i th Spain was discussed in Henryee Council, a n d D'A u bi gne advised an invasion of the country. P replied with the adage, which has b een f oun d so strik with t y gly tru e i n ever subsequent war.—." Wh oever enters S pa i n a a small army will be beaten—and whoever enters it with n lar ge one will be starved." But their old conferences were ot for gotten, and, on parting, Henry said, " D'Aubigne, de eive yourself no longer. lam persuaded that my temporal and spiritual life is in the hands of the Pope, whom I sincerely acknowledge as Christ's Vicar on earth." Astonished and f 6 clted at this final declaration, he left the royal presence and 4°o that moment solemnly pronounced the King undone. n e W hole narrative has almost a judicial impression. " I jes see," sa id he to all his friends, " that the King's great ir i gri l will pass away in vapour. I even dread danger for his Ti e l , allied he has trusted to a mortal for its preservation." 1), prognotic was too speedily fulfilled; and so strong was whAubigne's confidence in the nature of this calamity, that th ro l lie , was told that Ravaillac's knife had struck the King's by a No," said he, recurring to his remark on the wound Is - ar e - h aste ' , " am sure it was not in the throat.

The brief memoir of Mr. Faraday, the well-known chemist (to which a portrait, whether like or not, we cannot say, is attached), is, towards the close, perfectly unin telligible. We suppose, however, it is intended to have a meaning. The criticism on Mrs. Joanna Baillic's Dramas is written by one who is every way competent to give an opinion ; and the " Political Memoranda" less remarkable for justness of comment, than severity of animadversion. TAIT' S EDINBURGH MAG ALINE. Simpkin and Marshall. Tait opens this month with a well-written, and bet ter-reasoned article on the prospects of Reform in the opening Session of Parliament. The writer is not sparing of wholesome advice, which, coming as it does from a safe quarter, ought not to be forgotten by the supporters of the present Government. We are glad to see Tait take his stand at the right hand of the Mel bourne Cabinet, with a view to cheer on his readers to the support of the most liberal Administration that England iras known since the accession of the House of Brunswick to the Throne of these Realms. "In our own sphere," observes the writer of this ar- ticle„ "we have ever been steady supporters of Lord Melbourne's Government. In liberality of sen timent, and largeness of views, it is immeasurably in advance of the purely Whig Administration of Earl Grey ; nor can we perceive any reason which Re formers have to abate their confidence in the " Whig- Radical" Ministers, while many causes render it more and more expedient to strengthen their hands for the good works they meditate. Surely they are now in a position to look round them with manly firmness. The manner in which they have of late employed their official patronage, in the higher departments, is of rather favourable augury. ** * We will hope that Lord Brougham has been passed over on public grounds alone, and from no private or personal feeling lurking either in Court or Cabinet." The last sentence is the only one to which we object. We should certainly blame the Government for passing over Lord BROUGHAM, were we not convinced that the " personal feeling " here alluded to does actually evist, forming the only preventive barrier to his Lord ship's reinstatement in office. In fact, we should suspect the honesty of any Administration which should dare to object to Lord BROUGHAM'S appointment to office on public grounds. If on so grave an occasion we might parody the compliment which the Times, " once upon a time," paid to the back-stairs influence of her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen, we should state, for the information of all whom it may concern, that—The KING has done it " Willie o' Wyburn," a traditionary ballad by Mary Howitt, is but an indifferent imitation of the old Eng lish rhymes so popular in the youthful days of our grandsires. Its greatest fault—and a great fault it certainly is—consists in mistaking puerility of ex pression for quaintness. The moral is, however. unexceptionably good ; and that, in a ballad of six parts, is no trifling merit. " Songs, by the Author of Corn Law Rhymes,' No. II.," are by no means such as we could approve of. Indeed, we do not re member to have read lines, which gave us more pain on the author's account. We entertain the most sovereign contempt for those pseudo political econo mists, who rail against early marriages, and who would change the order of nature, to accord with their short sighted systems of social government. There are, however, several good articles in this Number of Tait. Those among the graver sort whiCh are calculated to effect the most good, are, " Protestant Associatioes"—" The Guzzling School" —" Japan Blacking"— ‘ -and a very sensible review of Coleridge—" Letters and Recollections," lately pub lished from the pen of Barry Cornwall. " The Moon" is by far the prettiest poetical effusion in a number rich in such pretty trifles. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The article in this number which will be read at the various military clubs with most interest, is a sketchy narrative of the proceedings of General Evans's bri gade, which goes by the name of the " Westminster Grenadiers," in the Peninsula, by a gentleman who signs himself " Miles." According to him, this bri gade is far from being in that high state of discipline which we in England suppose it to have attained ; and many weeks must elapse before .it can take the field against the Carlists, with any hope of achieving a decisive victory. As, however, there is decidedly an animus in the writer's mind, who speaks throughout as if under the influence of strong personal disappoint ments, we will not pin our faith too closely on his statements. " A Midshipman's Reminiscences" ale amusing, with a spice of personality, that gives them a relish, inasmuch as it is perfectly good-natured. " Lord Exmouth and Sir Hudson Lowe" gives the details of a correspondence which has little or no pub lic interest to recommend it. COURT MAGAZINE. The portrait of her Grace, the Duchess of Rich mond, which is prefixed, by way of frontispiece, to this month's " Court Magazine," is scarcely worthy of its long established character for the excellence of these sort of illustrations. It is harsh and scratchy, and the lights and shades of the countenance so managed, as to look absolutely like wrinkles. The only good portion of it is the hair, which falls in natural, graceful ringlets. In the literary department, the most amusing thing is the Autograph of Sheridan's Alterations of Kotzebue's sickly drama, " The Stranger," which add to the ele gance of the dialogue, while they exaggerate its maudlin sensibility. There is also a well-told tale by the author of the " Invisible Gentleman." MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This patriarchal periodical still goes on, not like Maturin's " Melmoth," " conquering and to conquer," but prosing, and to prose. The number before us is inspired by the very genius of twaddle. What, for in stance, is to be said for the following Address " To the Moon," further than that it affects to be a poem, on the same principle that Dogberry affected to be an orator—on the strength of his talking nonsense ? " Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven, and Looking dovrit on earth ? Wandering companionle,st Among the stars, that hove A. different birth? And ever changing, like a Joyless eye, That finds no object worth Its cznstancy?" This crack-brained effusion must assuredly have emanated from Bedlam. Grub -street, as becomes its time-ballowad character, would indigßaMly repudiate such tuneless and senseless drivel, We must„ lichweYeF, in common fairness observe that the no.mber contains one redeeming essay, entitled the " First Violet," which displays fancy and some descriptive talent, and pro ceeds, as we are told, from the pen gtf hasket,maker named Miller. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Campbell's " Letters from the South ,, arc more in teresting thi.; iftQuth than they have yet been ; and contain two curious Aigelino all 4, vith the pmsic at tached, the first of which, from the novelty of th e all ! MAGAZINE OF POPULAR SCIENCE. Like all first Numbers, this is got up with consider able care. We like the idea and if followed up in a zealous spirit, we have little doubt that the publisher, and all connected with it, will find their account in it. The essay, under the title of a ". Popular Course of Astronomy," is penned in an easy, intelligent spirit, not unduly encumbered—as is apt to be the case with such treatises—with a pedantic show of scientific technicalities. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE, Simphin and Marshall. The admirers of bigotry and intolerance—a nume rous brood in Ireland—have here an ample board spread for them. We select as a sample the following Hymn, not unworthy of the cause which the champions of Orangeism espouse with so much ardour. Our rea ders will please to regard it as a sample of Protestant liberality in Ireland. It must include all that we offer by way of criticism on the January Number of this periodical : THE BIBLE AND CROWN.-A NEW BALLAD, TO BE SAID OR SUNG IN ALL CHURCHES AND MEETING-HOUSES THROUGHOUT THE LAND. Awake to the combat I stout hearts to the strife I Each blow that we deal is for freedom and life. The vulture of bigotry screams on the blast; The foeman around us his leaguer has cast, And loud is his menace and dark is his frown As in vengeance he glares on the Bible and Crown. No phantom illusive allures to the fight, No vision that flashes and fades on the sight, That flits like the vapours of morning away, A moment deceptively gilt by its ray, No Selfish ambition—the bubble renown—. But the soul stirring cause of the Bible and Crown. Each minor dissension be lost at the call, Absorb'd In the peril impending o'er all ; Let the Presbyter strike by the Prelatist's side, And stem, in strong union, fell Popery's tide, Whose billows unsparing both quickly would drown. Strike, Protestants all, for the Bible and Crown. Oh, dream not the demon will pause in his ire, Of Luther and Calvin the signs to inquire; Enough ye the fetters of Error have burst, Alike ye have dared, and alike are accurst ; He heeds not the squabble of surplice and gown ; Woe, woe is your doom, with the Bible and Crown. Awake to the contest, and proudly and brave Let your banners of freedom and loyalty wave; While we strike for the cause of our freedom each blow, Despise we the traitor, and dare we the foe, As tumbles the Dagon of tyranny down Before the blest ark of the Bible and Crown. TIIE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Allen and Co. This periodical has been gradually improving for the last six months, both in the variety and the interesting nature of its contents. It is more of a journal of intel ligence and less of a critical review than it used to be. The " Present State of India" is an article which will not tend to lower it in public es timation. On the contrary, such papers, when resting on the authority of authentic documents, are of the first importance in the present • imperfect state of our ac quaintance with the internal resources of our oriental possessions. The several journals of journeys per.• formed in the interior of India are very instructive; but even read as romances of events in India, they would not fail to afford a lively gratification to the lovers of tales of the " Wild and Wonderful." Jungles, tigers, palanquins, torch-bearers, and caverns, are just the pegs for hanging the incidents of a startling adventure upon. The Notices for the Month are carefully ar ranged. ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM ; OR, Dal: HARDT TREES OF BRITAIN. Longman and Co, and Ridgway and Sons. We have looked ,carefully through Nos. XV. and XVI. of this standard work, with their twenty-four beautiful embellishments, and a suitable . quantity of letter-press, from the pelt of Mr. Loudon—and we can safely pronounce them equal to the best Numbers which preceded them. The plates, to any landscape gardener or botanist, or any admirer of such pursuits, are worth double the cost-price of the work. CHRISTIAN REPQRAIRR. The first paper in the present Number, entitled " Rich;ra Baxter's Last Religious Sentiments," would have commanded the atteoti9q gf the religious public at any time. At the present moment, when the con test betwcp9 the Presbyterians and the Independents about the right th,e foymer to the engowments of their 4neestors turns so lymph uppn tl}e doctrinal tenets of the gayly presbyteyians ? the matured reli gious opinions eof the beat leader of the o a t can nQt f ty 4 fit 9 interest. 40cq Miles Coverdale" contain some curious particulars relating to that distinguished Reformer, th e tri centengry of wh9se translation of the Bible has, it now appears, been celebrated too soon, by two years.

A " Thought suggested by the New Year," by Mr. Campbell ; and " A Bona," Mr. Elliott, are both, in their way, such gracefu poems, that we cannot refrain from extracting them The more we live, more brief appear Our life's succeeding stages : A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages. The gladsome current of our youth, Ere passion yet disorders, Steals, ling'ring, like a river smooth Along its grassy borders. But as the care-worn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shafts fly thicer, Ye stars that measure life to man ! Why seem your courses quicker? When joys have lost their bloom and breath, And life itself is vapid, Why, as we reach the Falls of Death, Feel we its tide more rapid? It may be strange—yet who would change Time's course to slower speeding ? When one by one our friends have gone, And left our bosoms bleeding. Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness; And those of youth, a seeming length, Proportioned to their sweetness. Broom glowed in the valley For William and Sally, The rose with the rill was in tune ; Love fluttering their bosoms As breezes the blossoms, They strayed through the woodbines of June. Oft, oft he caress'd her, And to his heart pressed her, The rose with the woodbine was twined ; Her cheek on his bosom, Like dew on the blossom, Enchanted the tale-telling wind. Poor Sally was bonny ; But Mary had money, Aye, money and beauty beside ; And wilt thou sweet Mary, Thou fond and unwary ! Deprive the wise fool of his bride ? Yes ; bee-haunted valley ! Poor heart -broken Sally No more with her William will stray; " He marries another ! I'm dying ! Oh, mother, Take, take that sweet woodbine away 1" " Precepts and Practice," is a dramatic dialogue by Theodore Hook, and forms the substance, we suspect, of a rejected farce. In his account of the " Barbarians of the North," Mr. Leitch Ritchie tells a humourous story of the disasters which befell a German bachelor at Moscow, in consequence of his inordinate attach ment to a splendid head of hair. The " Alibi" is a common-place Irish tale ; and we cannot say much more for Mr. Willis's story of the "'Revenge of the Signor Basil."

We cannot speak for the literalness of the translation, but we may safely vouch for the correctness and elegance of its style. Malt the Tricentenary Anniversary of the Reformatiou DREADFUL HURRICANE day ; but it was nearly five P.M. before the remaining two of the crew, and a female passenger (a soldier's wife,) were, after great and most praiseworthy exertions, rescued in a very exhausted state. Although the hull and rigging still keep together, the vessel will be an entire wreck. The cargo, which is in the act of being carted to Portpatrick, will, for the most part, be saved witho u t sustain ing. very material injury. We may notice the zealous conduct of Captain Fayrer, and two lads Kennedy of Portpatrick, whose efforts for the preservation of the crew were attended with ,great risk to their lives. John Murdoch, Esq., J. P. Dinvin, was also present at the time William Allen ran ashore, till the latest hour, anxiously promoting the rescue and resto ration of the crew, and, as a Magistrate, when they were got ashore, and the tide had receded, he went on board the vessel, took possession, and kept the charge till the arrival of Lloyd's agent from Stranraer. We regret to add, that the honour th 7 s praiseworthy conduct reflected on the district has been clouded by scenes of the most disgraceful pillage and exten sive plunder. We hear that goods to the value of about 1,0001. were carried off by the depredators in one night. On same day, at 4 A.M., the sloop Betsy of Milford,Wales, 40 tons burthen, and laden with salt, from Liverpool to Killi beggs, in the west of Ireland, was overtaken in the hurricane, run into Portpatrick, and the crew, three in number, being strangers, and panic-struck, deserted the vessel, in consequence of which she was completely wrecked on an exposed breast work. The same day also, a small vessel riding in Lochryan, which, from the direction of the wind, was not nearly so much exposed, was driven ashore from her moorings near the Cairn. —Glasgow Herald. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain and Flour, both last week and this morning, have been moderate, partly occasioned by the boisterous state of the wind. These was no:variation during the week, and this morning, with a good attendance of buyers, the Wheat trade remains firm, and the millers have taken off all the good samples, but speculators are not disposed to give the present prices. The maltsterz have purchased good Barley with freedom, but other sorts remain dull. Beans have sold readily, partly to the regular buyers, and partly for shipping. Pease of both kinds are unaltered in value, with a slack demand The limited supply of Oats occasioned the factors to ask higher prices, with which the buyers were not disposed to comply, and such sales as were effected did not exceed last week's quotations. The top price of Flour is unaltered, but ship parcels meet free sale at the late advance.

Mr. 13ulwer has caught something of the spirit of the lively nation, whose habits and opinions he records, and from whose history, whether by way of example or of warn ing, he has drawn many instructive lessons for his own countrymen. The Monarchy of the Middle Classes' will be extremely useful to all who really desirg Itti itnow the French ; it will explain molly iloobtfol matters, correct many mistaken opinions, and, while it illstructi people here as to their neighbours on the other side of the Channel, those neighbours themselves may gain many valuably 144 from its pleasant and sensible pages. - - 4 10i'ilill arouicte."

In the forenoon of the said day, the brig, William Allen, of Belfast, John Digby, master, 165 tons burthen, laden with linen and provisions, from Belfast for Kingston in Jamaica, made every effort to reach Portpatrick, but the wind and tide proving unfavourable, she, while off the old Castle of Dunskey, was compelled to put about, and run ashore in Portospittal Bay, about two and a-half miles S. of Portpatrick.

After de molishin all the allegations of his Reverence, the Cork Re porteticoncludes thus :—" We feel no disposition whatever to recur to the circumstances of this massacre. It is forced on us by the impudent attempt of the Archdeacon to impose oft the English people a falsification of material facts, after a lapse of time when it was supposed that the truth might have escaped the public recollection. The efforts of his silly and stupid backers on the local Orange Press, to prop ,up and bolster statements which they had in other capacities, the best means of kn'tfuring to ba Wholly false, can be regarded only with indignant contempt. REBELLION 1— In allusion to certain proceedings in the Court of Exchequer on Thursday last, (the case of the Vene rable Edward Dalrymple Ilaskett Knox V. John Gavin and others,) the Dublin Post asks if any person after this manifes tation can doubt the objects of the faction. It seems to LI! that an attempt is td be made to fight the politi ca l b att l e o the Conservatives i n th e C ourt of Exchequer. It is so an nounced—it is so stated. For this purpose, an obsolete prac tice, abolished in the Court of Chancery, has been resorted to, the writ of rebellion--and under the sanction of this most ab surd practice, they seek to set aside Acts of Parliament. SYMPTOMS OF A REBELLION, &C., &C.—Under this alarming heading a paragraph appeared in a Carlow paper of last Saturday, for the purpose, no doubt, of general quotation in the Dublin and London Orange Journals, and as a flimsy ex cuse for the atrocities committed on the unfortunate peasantry, by the Tory Landlords of that County. The paragraph rum thus " ILLEGAL MEETING OF TIIE PEASANTRY._On Friday last, about 1,000 men assembled on the lands of Spaw Hill, county Carlow, all armed with bludgeons, &c. They were all well organized, and appeared to go through the various processes of drilling, marching and countermarching, until about three o'clock, when the main body dispersed. In the evening about 100 of the party marched rank and file through the village of Killedmond, which is inhabited by a few Protestants, the tenants of Lord Downes, and after hooting and groaning op posite each door, the ruffians proceeded to the house of the Protestant clergyman, and saluted him in a similar manner." The facts are simply these : the peasantry of Spaw Hill, Myvally, and another parish, met by appointment to hurl, according to their constant habit at this period of the year. When both parties came to the ground, it was found that one party was more numerous than the other, and the match was declined, but arrangements were made to meet for this pur pose another day. The people quietly dispersed, nor did they say or do any thing that could for a moment give their meet ing the character of a political one.—Dublin Post. TIIE LODGER POINT.—The Whig states, on information which is stated to be authoritative, that at the commencement of the present term the question respecting the Lodger point was brought before the twelve Judges, on the motion of Judge Johnston, who had been the only dissentient from the previous decision, and after maturely considering the question. the final decision of their Lordships was, that the tenant of a house worth ten pounds in terms of the Reform Act, is entitled to be registered as a voter, whether the portion of his holm ac tually occupied by himself (the rest being let to lodgers), be worth 101, or whether it be not worth that sum. This, of course, settles the point so long disputed. During the storm on Friday night, a correspondent men tions that a house was blown down in the townland of Bally macarainey, near Rathfriland, in which was an old man named Robert Linton, aged about 80 ye ars . H e was completely bu ried in the rubbi s h, under which he remained for several hours, and was at last rescued from his perilous situation chiefly by the exertions of two blacksmiths, who laboured inces santly until he was extricated. When discovered, the poor man was in a state 'of almost complete exhaustion.—Veyast Nenis. MUNICIPAL REFr,RM.—WC are glad to learn that a requi sition is in progress, and has already been very extensively signed, for a meeting of the citizens of Dublin, to petition for Irish Municipal Reform. CORONER'S INQUEST.—John Dunlea, on Wednesday, being on his way home, after attending a funeral, went into Edmund Graddy's public-house at Bloomfield-cross, in company with a few friends, on Sunday evening, to take some refreshment, and having delayed there only a short time, he went out to get his horse to return home, when he was brutally assailed with sticks and stones by a party with whom be bad no previous qua r r e l, from the effects of which ho became insensible, and died in two days after. The deceased was a very peaceable inoffensive man, and has left a wife and large family to deplore his un timely end. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against James Duggan, of Millvale," who was instantly com mitted to the county gaol by the Coroner, and against others not yet in custody. LORD AUDLEY IS WANTED.—Judge Moore said that he was likely to be caught during the delivery of the King's speech. The Northern Whig has devoted some very able papers to an exposure of the real character of the recent Belfast Society Dinner. It was one of the most transcendently shabby (as it appears to have been about the most fraudulent) concerns ever got up in the North of Ireland. O'CoNrcMti Taturrß.—The plundering faction declaim themselves he a - se as ravens about the national testimonial being wrung from the poor. Well, read its history. One hundred pounds, "Anonymous !" Groat " intimidation" in that. One hundred pounds from an English Protestant Rector; what a bigotted persecutor of Protestants this O'Connell must be 1 Three English remittances from Protestant England. Great chance of imposing on the English people—eh ! Murty ? Ten times the amount of tribute from Belfast, of four years ago, a third of it contributed by Protestants ! Did the " priests" do that ? And last, but not least, twenty-five pounds from Otway Cave, the son-in-law of Burdett A MAN SHOT.—TWO men named Greene, father anti son, on their return home on Monday night, were met near Kil lenaule by two persons, who dcmanded if their name was Greene ? The old man said it was, that ho would never deny it—when one of his interrogators immediately lifted a large stick to strike old Greene, but before the blow descended he was shot dead by the son. The deceased has been since re cognized as a man named Dalton, belonging to that neigh. bourhood. The Greenes, we understand, were concerned in the prosecution of a grievous assault at the last Assizes, which, it is rumoured, was the cause of this fatal affair—Tipperar d Free Press.

A. 4 The order of the day was the continuation of I tta'-oFe•ato upon the 6th article of the electoral law, relative to quail. fications. M. Mcdrano, one of the old Ministry, in the commence• meat of h:s address took occasion to reply, both in his own name and in that of his political friend; to the ,charge mach/ against them by the partisans of the movement party, et having carefully concealed a particular system mid ulterior views subsequently brought to light ; the hon. memb er having directed his arguments more to a defence of his , a d, ministration than to an attack upon the measure in question, proposed an additional paragraph, which, however, was no 4 taken into consideration, - M. Mendizabal ascended the tribune, and coteme ne4 d his observations by refuting the assertions put farward at the close of the previous sitting by M. de Toreno. He de, clared that he was far from wishing to take advantage of a particular state of things for ,the purpose o f f orc i ng such and such votes up on the members of that Chamber eu ployed as functionaries. His first care, on entering ;.nto office, was to secure the greatest independence to the 10 or 12 deputies attached to the Finance Department, hi' . ., object being that their votes should be perfectly free, and that they should not be under the apprehension of losing ''Heir places. The President of the Council replied to an , :..ssertion made by M. Toreno, to the - effect that there e.;,,uld not be fount in the provinces fifteen public funetior.,aries at a salary of 10,000 reals. M. de Toreno wisliedi. to answer an observation which af fected him persor.4ll3'. What he said, and he should re peat it, was, that there were not in the whole I.fingdom 15 public functionaries, but from 20 to 30 wh sa lary of 10,00 , 0 reals p er annum. The s g received a on. Memb er then administrati on . went into a s t a ti st i ca l detail upon - 4trious br anc h es o f the M. Mendi za b a l observed, that it would be altogether ill timed, as also inconsistent with the question before the Chamber, to enter into,a discussion with the last speaker upon the actual amount paid to persons employed by the Administration. He persisted in vouching for the correct ness of his previous declaration on this head, and which he said lie should establish by proofs'when a propel. opportunity should offer. M. Alcala Galiith o replied to the arguments, supported by MM. de Tor eno and Medrano, and concluded by ex- P . essing bi':liself in f avour o f t h e a b ove article of the Mi • • , n:sten2., Pro j ect. The Chamber at length declared itself sufficiently in formed upon the details of the article in question, which was. then read :'by it the title and rights of electors are givr, n to all advocates or persons engaged in the law, to physi cians, surgeons, professors, painters, artists, &c. 1 The Chamber subsequently decided by a show of hands, with a majority of 78 against 63, that the vote should be given upon the entire article, and not upon the separate pahgraphs. A ballot then took place upon the whole of the article ; the numbers were, 79 votes against this article, which had been presented and supported by' the committee and the Government, and 63 in favour of it. The article in question was consequently rejected. Upon the result of this vote much agitation prevailed throughout the Chamber. The President put to the vote an additional article pro posed and supported by . MM. Calderon, Collantes, Serrano, Ginei, and Montalvo; to the effect that in cities containing a population of if,',11,000 souls, advocates and other citizens belonging to 4 .:n0 professions ,abovenamed should have the right and title of electors upon paying a fixed rate of 100 reels, and of 200 reals where the population exceeded 1 00,000 souls. This article, strongly supported by M. Toreno, was adopted by an imposing majority. It was ob served that immediately after the vote upon Article 6, the members of the committee and the Ministers made rather a rapid retreat from the Chamber. The discussion continued, but the lateness of the hour. prevents our giving the result. GE SPAIN. RMAN AND ERUSSELS PAPERS. ASERLIN, JAN. 16.... L.-We.-W e learn that the law relative to the entrance of foreiTners into the public service in Prussia will be in future very strictly enforced, and that exceptions will be made only ur.der very particular circumstances ; a special law on the suLjeet is expected. It is again affirmed that a reduction of the interest of our public debt is far from being given up, and that it is perhaps :dearer at hand than is supposed. An alleviation of the public burden is, in far-;, highly neces sary ; and as the Council of State is said to, have decid e d t h at it is not a t p resent a d v i sable to reduce th or the exp ense o f ma i ntaining it, and amount of the army, Since in all the other de partments of public service, the tee st effectual re d uct i ons h ave already b een ma d e, there is noti,:ing remaining but a reduction of , . the interest of the debt. JAN. 19.—The expected restrictions on the admission of foreign (especially French) journals, have now been issued_ certain French J',.,arnals are to pay at the rate of the very high postage er letters, so that reading-rooms and the like catviot possibly take them in, as a single journal would come to many hundred dollars. This may certainly be consi dered not as a direct prohibition—fo r it extends only to the National,- the Temps, and Constitutionnel—and some others of the same character. Those which have a kind of official character, the Journal de Paris, the Journal des Debats, or the legitimist journals, such as the Gazette de France, con tinue to enjoy the same facilities as the other journals, in the transmission by the post. The Courrier Francais is not in cluded in this kind of prohibition. The National and Temps, of which numerous copies used to come here, have disappeared from the coffee-houses, &c. The public use of the journals is by no means prohibited, and whoever chooses to be at the ex pense is at full liberty to do so. The measure has not yet been extentled.to the English newspapers, as they are very little read here. DARMSTADT, JAN. 26.—Medical Bulletin. —Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess, after having derived much relief yesterday evening from a refreshing . sleep, was seized in the night with a most violent fever, with increased oppression and shortness of breath.

The intnded iron railroad to Gallicia, the execution of which is undertaken by M. A. Rothschild and Sons, who have obtained permission for it, will extend as far as Bochisia, and :nough it will be sixty German miles in length, it is in tended that it shall be completed in three or four years. The capital required is estimated at twelve millions of florins. The estimate of the expected profits is founded, as we are assured, on very accurate data, during a number of years, relative to the traffic on that road. We are very anxious to see the pro spectus published. SILESIA, JAN. 19.--I have already given you an account of the disturbances of Cracow, in consequence of which several persons concerned have been arrested. It now appears that since these events several murders have been committed in this city, which are ascribed partly to political excitement, and partly to a spirit of revenge in some individuals who still dream of a Polish nationality. The civilisation of the age repels such fearful crimes ; it does not excuse them because the object is attainable, nor even if it is laudable, but it finds no words to express its full detestation of those who endeavour to obtain by crimes what is impossible and unlawful. There is more than polMcal fana timm; wickedness thirsts for crimes, for the sake of the crime is the motive of the actions of those men µ' of bear the stamp of depravity without giving the 'perpetrators the slightest hope of realising their projects. Cracow may pro bably have to expect something unpleasant, as it cannot be supposed that the protecting powers, of the Republic will be hold such excesses with Indifference, or continue to throw away generosity on ingrates, May those who in the enjoy ment of legal freedom, Paid 'of increasing prosperity, show themselves so unworthy of their good fortunes, not complain of injustice if they should be considered as incapable of continuing to govern themselves. 994 VIENNA , JAN. 2 2.---Fi:,re per Cent., 1021-; Four per ; Three per Cent,,, 75: 1 1 ; Bank Shares, 1,364. nteine Zeitnny, 27.
